School social workers are the link between home, school and community providing a clinical and trauma informed lens for students, staff and families.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

If this can happen to a president with secret service, if this can happen in Parkland with a cop assigned to our campus, if this can happen in Uvalde with hundreds of police.

STOP TALKING ABOUT GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS AND START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE GUNS.

Holding students accountable for their behavior doesn’t require jeopardizing relationships with them. Learn how strong relationships are the foundation of behavior management via @ascd. https://t.co/c4SBz6YSZn
Discipline policies that promote #SEL: https://t.co/H8OMAwzwEO

[Martin Odima Jr. @MartinOdimaJr]

Before discipline and suspension, what if we asked...

Were there social/emotional stressors?
Were there communication stressors?
Were there environmental/sensory stressors?

And last but not least, was the response more about the teacher’s insecurity than the student’s behavior?

[Lives in the Balance @LITB_]

So true!

The hitch in positive behavior programs that focus on rewarding "good" behavior: research shows that educators interpret behavior differently across race. If we don't fix that, at least part of what we're rewarding with these programs is whiteness.

[Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute @EquityLiteracy]

Every social-emotional learning program (SEL) program should begin by attending to (1) everything that harms the wellbeing of students at school and (2) everything that harms the wellbeing of adults at school--including racism, heterosexism, and other forms of oppression.
